The Title

A Story Worth Keeping

Borrowing Your Textbook 175160
Su Yao is 175cm tall and painfully aware of it. Liu Xi is 160cm — close enough that Su Yao never knows where to place her hands, her gaze, or her heart. It begins with an excuse so small no one questions it: "Can I borrow your textbook?"

One excuse turns into another. A shared desk. A sleeve tugged. A warm smile. Su Yao insists she's only being thoughtful, only being kind — but every time Liu Xi tilts her head and looks up, something inside Su Yao falters. Between after-school corridors and stolen glances, the distance between them tightens until breathing feels dangerous and standing still feels worse.

A high-school yuri romance about first love, unspoken longing, and the aching sweetness of wanting someone who is already within arm's reach — and wishing to be closer still.

FAQ

Common Questions

Campaign funding payments are collected immediately and counted toward the print goal. If the campaign does not reach its funding goal, eligible paid pledges are refunded to the original payment method.
Copy-based milestones directly reflect production viability. The number of physical copies sold determines whether premium printing upgrades (Spot UV, Photocard Sets, Collector's Content) are economically feasible. Digital and physical copies are tracked separately because they have completely different production implications — a digital sale does not contribute to physical print run costs.
No. The print release milestone (1,000 copies) requires 1,000 physical copies sold independently. Digital copy counts are tracked on their own milestone track with separate rewards. This ensures that physical production milestones are only triggered when there is genuine physical demand to support the print run.
Yes. Physical rewards ship worldwide. Shipping costs are included in the Tier 2 pledge amount for most regions. Remote locations may incur a small additional surcharge — backers will be notified before capture.
Digital access is granted immediately upon payment. You will receive a confirmation email with a link to your Crossed Hearts library. No app download required — read in your browser instantly.
Yes, during the campaign period. Contact us at support@thecrossedhearts.com with your backer email and we'll update your pledge tier. Note that Tier 2 physical availability is limited and may sell out before the campaign ends.
Physical delivery is planned for February 2027 (Valentine's season), contingent on the physical copy milestone being reached.We'll send monthly progress updates to all backers so you always know where things stand.
Paid campaign pledges count toward the print goal. If the required funding threshold is not reached, eligible paid pledges are refunded through the original payment method. You will receive a notification if this occurs.
Purchasing Tier 3 (Digital + Physical Bundle) counts as +1 for both the digital and physical milestone tracks simultaneously. This means your single pledge helps unlock digital community rewards (wallpaper sets, sticker packs, bonus side story) AND physical production upgrades (Spot UV finish, Photocard Set, Bonus Side Story) at the same time.
Transparency

Risks & Challenges

Print logistics. Physical book production involves print vendors, shipping carriers and customs — all of which can experience delays. We've built in buffer time and chosen a printer with a strong track record on manga titles. In the event of a delay, backers will be notified promptly with a revised timeline.

Copy milestone dependencies. Physical production upgrades like Spot UV and Photocard Sets only unlock if the corresponding physical copy thresholds are reached. We've already begun pre-production on these items so they don't create a bottleneck when milestones are hit.

Global shipping. International shipping costs can fluctuate. Our pledge pricing accounts for standard international rates as of campaign launch. In rare cases of significant carrier cost increases, we may add a small surcharge for remote regions — always communicated to backers before any charge is made.

Our commitment. Crossed Hearts has delivered digital releases consistently and on schedule. This is our first crowdfunded print campaign and we are committed to the same standard of transparency and quality. We will not ship until the product meets our standards and we will keep you informed every step of the way.
